Bearing the light
The Saturday Spark
Tell us: What’s one way in which you found light in yourself this week?
Got yours?
This week’s feature from my store is a condolence card featuring my meditative poem For the Sake of One We Love & Are Losing. This elegant card will help you say what you want to say when someone you love is dying or has passed away. The poem unfolds on six panels of textured art paper.
Print version: 5″ x 7″, sold in five-card sets ($17.00/set) with white linen envelopes in a clear plastic box.
E-version (lifetime license): Get a link to the e-card (PDF) for $50 and use it forever. Store the link on your digital device. Whenever you want to send it to a loved one, copy and paste the link into the body of an email, along with a personal message.
This poem is also available as a special-edition book. Learn more here.
